The making of a king?

AlterNet: Don't We Have a Constitution, Not a King?

Bush has issued a directive that would place all governmental powers in his hands in the case of a catastrophic emergency. If a terrorist attack happens before the 2008 election, could Bush and Cheney use this to avoid relinquishing power to a successor administration?
No...it couldn't happen, could it? Everyone should read Al Gore's new book, "Assault on Reason," or take an hour and watch him talk about his book with Charlie Rose. Of course, watching Al plays into his criticism that actually reading about an issue allows for a more informed republic....



.hmm....It can't happen here, eh?
